Another 2 weeks has gone already since my last post? I think most of a week of that was consumed by tax preparation...yuck. Anyway, lets see, what's happened in the last 2 weeks. April 15th was the Splash and Dash at Tempe Town Lake. A 750 meter swim and a 4k run. My swim wasn't bad for me, around 14 minutes, but then I spent 2+ minutes in transition trying to get the wetsuit off. Even with body glide, it just stuck. That put my run around 16 minutes and some change, which I was happy with. The water was much warmer than the race prior, also. 

    Friday, I went to Lake Pleasant with my friend and long time fishing buddy Jon. We had a great day on the lake, boating 4 bass and losing almost as many. I had almost forgotten how much fun that can be.



    Last Saturday was the Usery Mountain Madness Adventure Race in Mesa. I raced with Chris and Josh, as a 3 person team. We had a quick 1/2 mile run to the bikes, then a 10 mile mountain bike, followed by an 8 1/2 mile run, and another 10 mile bike loop. It was a warm day, but what a beautiful venue. The desert is so pretty, especially when it's as green as it is now. 




    Only about 10 days until The Escape from Alcatraz. I am at 90% of my goal for St Jude. If you can help, please go to http://www.mystjudeheroes.org/AzEnduranc  and give even just a little if you can.

    Today's funny:

    Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
